Welcome to aburt.com, home to Andrew Burt. Aburt wears many hats, including computer science professor, writer, publisher, early Internet pioneer, founder of the first Internet service provider, former VP of SFWA, and founder of Critique.org / Critters, the first writers' workshop on the web.

Tools and Web Sites

ReAnimus Press — a publisher, and offering ebook/print book production services. We work with leading names such as Ben Bova and Ursula K. Le Guin, offering the highest royalty rates of any publisher (for professional authors) and cost-effective services such as scanning, OCRing, ebook creation, cover art, etc. (free for professional authors).

Aburt's Ultimate Loan Comparison Tool (Many, if not most, loan comparison tools leave out important variables that could cost you money. So I wrote an "ultimate" loan comparison tool for myself, and put it up to share with the world. Enjoy.)

.HT Files
— a quick way to create and easily maintain template-based web sites.
(This page and most of my sites use '.ht' files — notice the URLs
that end in '.ht') Shareware tool for you to use on your own sites.

Nyx.net, the world's first Internet service provider, which I founded many moons ago (free, donation funded) — offers free web hosting / email etc., may be of interest to writers wanting a site to promote books and whatnot.

The Secret to writing found! Film at 11! :)
Or a sliver of it anyway... here's an article I wrote for the
SFWA Bulletin on some interesting statistical correlations I found
between the amount of interpersonal relationships in "well regarded"
vs. "ordinary" SF/F stories. Add books to the reading list.
